Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Arriving at Huaibian County, He Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, step on the accelerator twice and send Lin Zhengjun to the Hewan Brigade!"

"Okay!" the driver Xiao Liu responded.

"Where's my bike?"

"Look at you, you are so useless. You are going to the capital to meet the emperor, and you are still thinking about your broken bicycle. Just leave the bicycle at my house. You can ride it home when you come back from the capital. You had two drinks today and you are drunk. I am really worried about you riding your bicycle home. What if you fall into a manure pit and stink? Wouldn't it be a nuisance to the people of the capital? It's okay to nauseate the people of the capital, but if you stink Mr. Deng, you are simply lawless and you deserve death, hahaha!"

He Jian laughed like a pig, as if Lin Zhengjun had really fallen into a manure pit!

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, and it can only fall into a dung pit. I can drink much more than you do. Now give me a set of college entrance examination math questions, and I can get full marks!" Lin Zhengjun scolded with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful! Just listen to me!"

"Zhengjun, I'm going to withdraw first. I'll ask Lu Changyuan to check tonight and tell them that there are enemy agents sabotaging the flour mill. We'll turn it upside down!"

"Okay! Go quickly, maybe you'll be able to perform meritorious deeds again!"

"What a waste of merit! If I can't find any safety incidents, I will be held responsible. I have been bluffing all day long!"

He Jian dropped Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu off at the door of their home, and immediately drove back to the county town with his colleagues.

"Zhengjun, why are you back so late? Is anything wrong?"

"Where's your bicycle?"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu coming back, the whole family came out to greet them.

"It's okay. I left the bike at He Jian's house. I first had a full moon party at He Jian's house, and then went to my second sister's house to play for a while and have dinner. That's how it is now."

"He's here? Why don't you let him come over to your house for a drink? You're so ignorant!" Zhang Shuqin said angrily. "We're both so busy, there's no need to be so phony and polite!"

"Is everything okay at your second sister's family?" Lin Sanhuai asked.

"Everything is fine, don't worry."

Lin Zhengjun handed a bag of toys to his eldest sister and did not say much about his second brother-in-law's speculation to avoid worrying everyone.

Lin Zhengjun walked into the main hall, sat down on a chair, and said, "Mom and Dad, Tang Xiaofu and I plan to leave for Yanjing tomorrow. First, we will visit Tang Xiaofu's grandparents and propose marriage. Second, we will go to see the canning machinery and equipment. Third, we have to attend the Writers' Congress."

The Lin Sanhuai couple suddenly looked a little nervous and felt uneasy.

They don't care at all about attending the National Congress of Literature and Art to purchase machinery and equipment.

They only care about the marriage between Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu!

This is a huge deal!

He was afraid that his son would be looked down upon by Tang Xiaofu's relatives and his marriage would fall through.

He also heard from his son that Tang Xiaofu's grandfather was a professor and her grandmother was a deputy division-level cadre, almost the same as a county magistrate.

Although their job reputation and treatment have not yet been restored and they are considered "guilty", they are professors and officials, city people, and a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Besides, other people have broad vision and knowledge. Lin Zhengjun's achievements make him a well-known figure in Huaibian County, but in other people's eyes, they may not be that great.

Lin Sanhuai lit up a cigarette, thought for a while, and said, "Zhengjun, you can't forget the gifts. Last time you won the award for bravery, didn't the Bai family give you two boxes of Moutai, a pack of Zhonghua and a pack of Mudan cigarettes? You should take them all!"

Lin Zhengjun burst out laughing and said, "Dad, the wine is too heavy. How can I carry it? A box of Moutai will be enough!"

"Pack up some of the dried black fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, walnuts, chestnuts and other local products that your mother and I picked to bring over. Even though they're not worth much, they're gifts from your mother and I. We can't let them think that we're ignorant!"

"Yes, I'll take it!"

Lin Sanhuai was an old and shrewd man who understood the ways of the world. While smoking, he gave a sincere and earnest advice: "Zhengjun, as the saying goes, you should bow your head to marry a wife and raise your head to marry a daughter. This marriage will add a child to our family, which is a great joy for us, but they will lose one person. Xiaofu is marrying to a country girl, so they may not be happy about it! When you go to the capital and to the Zhou family's house, you must not be rude no matter how they treat you."

Zhang Shuqin also advised: "You must control your temper. He is knowledgeable and experienced, and he will definitely like gentle and sensible juniors!"

"Well, Dad and Mom, don't worry, I remembered everything!" Lin Zhengjun nodded.

"Dad and Mom, don't worry."

Tang Xiaofu said softly: "Zhengjun has started a collective sideline business and made so much money. We are also preparing to take the college entrance examination. He is also a young writer and a representative of the National Congress of Literature. My family loves literature very much and will definitely like Lin Zhengjun very much!"

"Really? That's good, that's good!"

"Oh, I hope everything goes smoothly. You can get married soon and give me a big fat grandson. I can raise him for you while I'm still young!" The old couple were no longer nervous, but became expectant instead.

Tang Xiaofu nodded with a blushing face, her heart still full of anticipation, they were going to get married and have children!

……

Little did they know that the Zhou family in the capital was already in chaos because of their grandson-in-law Lin Zhengjun who was about to come and live with them.

The three-foot-thick ice did not form overnight, let alone the special ten years, which is like a ten-thousand-foot-thick ice. It is very difficult to thaw it.

It is unknown how many unjust, false and wrong cases have been caused, and tens of millions of workers and cadres are waiting to have their reputations, jobs and treatment restored.

The historical issues of Zhou Shouzheng and Zhao Xiangrong have not yet been properly resolved.

The eldest son started working early, and thanks to Zhou Shoucheng's instruction he promptly distanced himself from his parents, he was able to keep his job.

But the youngest daughter Zhou Dongxue was in the process of arranging a job at that time. She was unemployed for two years before finally finding a job pasting matchboxes in the street matchbox factory.

When the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee was successfully held, Professor Zhou went to the head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Zhu Dawei, and begged him earnestly, and also gave him a lot of cigarettes, alcohol, and treasured calligraphy and paintings.

Tang Xiaofu's aunt Zhou Dongxue was able to transfer to the Youth League Committee of Yenching Institute of Technology to do odd jobs under the name of "working in exchange for work".

This afternoon, Liu Xinwu, a famous young writer, representative of the National Congress of Writers and editor of October, visited the Literature Society of Yenching Institute of Technology to guide a group of young literary people in running a magazine.

As a loyal reader of Liu Xinwu, Zhou Dongxue, secretary of the school Youth League Committee, was in charge of the reception and served him attentively. She worked very hard and her heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of her throat.

People who have not experienced this era may not be able to imagine that in those days, literature lovers are like the most devout believers, and writers are idols, who are more famous, worshipped and popular than movie stars in later generations.

Once famous writers and poets appear, they will attract a lot of attention and cause a sensation!

Some time ago, the poet Zhao Zhenkai went to the dining hall of Yenching University to hold a poetry reading. Thousands of students from all over Yenching University showed up and almost squeezed the door frame of the dining hall down.

His fans are all big shots who have become successful in later generations.

Liu Zhenyun, writer, screenwriter, and director Feng’s source for later stories;

The screenwriter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Wang Xiaoping, and the director, Zheng Xiaolong, who later became a couple;

Liang Zuo, a regular crosstalk writer for the Spring Festival Gala, a pioneer of domestic indoor sitcoms, and a close friend of Wang Shuo;

Cha Jianying, author of "Memoirs of the 1980s" and a regular guest on "锵锵三人行";

The great scholar Xia Xiaohong, the famous writer Chen Jiangong and so on.

In the past two years, the humanities and arts have been thawing rapidly, and the craze of college students publishing literary magazines has swept through universities and colleges across the country.

Yenching University alone published several magazines, including "Weiming Lake", "Red Bean" and "Morning".

Following closely behind are Wuhan University's "Luojia Mountain", Renmin University's "College Students", Jilin University's "Red Leaves", etc.

In November 1979, 11 famous universities across the country jointly launched the magazine "This Generation", but it was ordered to cease publication after only one issue.

It is true that Yenching Institute of Technology is a science and engineering school, but it has many young literary people.

That’s right, this was an era full of passion and romance, with a very strong literary atmosphere and every person being a literary youth.

When young men and women go on blind dates, they must include the phrase “I love literature” in their self-introductions, just like “owning a house and a car with no mortgage” in later generations.

Otherwise, this marriage will most likely fail.

The Youth League Committee and Literary Society of Yenching Institute of Technology also planned to follow suit and publish a literary magazine, so they invited Liu Xinwu to share his experience.

After instructing everyone, Liu Xinwu was also invited to give a literature lecture to all the teachers and students in the school.

The title of the lecture is "From 'Scars' to 'Reflection' - On the Literary Thoughts of "The Shepherd" and the Author Chu Kuangren".

During the lecture, Liu Xinwu praised "The Shepherd" and its author Chu Kuangren to the sky, and he felt inferior to them and praised them highly, with his eyes full of hearts!

Zhou Dongxue, who was responsible for serving tea and water, had the honor of attending the lecture.

She couldn't help but develop a strong interest in the novel "The Shepherd" and Chu Kuangren, and her eyes were full of love!

Literary idol Liu Xinwu’s literary idol, how powerful he must be, I must find a chance to meet him!
